Overspending in Indian  weddings      happens because of a number of factors like society expectations,  cultural traditions, and changing trends. This research paper investigates the  frequent problem of spending lavishly on Indian weddings, exploring the reasons  and its impact. The study also examines how traditional beliefs and cultural  factors influence the patterns of distributing wedding expenses equally  between both the parties. The research was conducted through Google Forms,  the research gathered primary data from a sample of 100 respondents, while  the secondary data set includes information from research papers, blogs, and  reports. This research is a quantitative type of research, with simple random  sampling method, the research design is both descriptive and basic. Chi square  was used   as the statistical test which led to the rejection of null hypothesis,  aligning with the prediction of the authors. The findings revealed that majority  of the people are against overspending in weddings and are willing to reduce  the expenditure   to a minimum. The study successfully achieved its objectives,  contributing valuable insights into the factors influencing wedding expenses in  the Indian context.
